A/n: There's a bit of 'gore' in this one. But, you know me. I'm rather morbid. So if you think fighting scenes or blood is damned cool, this chapter's for you. If you don't, cover your eyes as you read this.
Disclaimer: I know I forgot to put this in the last few chapters, but just so you know, I don't own.
Chapter 14
BPOV
In short, we ran towards the scene.
Okay, no, they ran towards the scene. I was bouncing on Alice's back because if I ran on my own two feet through the forest I would take way longer, and end up falling all over. Despite her size, Alice carried me like I was a rag doll. All I did was worry about what I would find.
What exactly was Halyn and Kelsie going to do? Who do I side with? Am I going to pick a side?
Because of their speed, I wasn't left with much time to worry; we were just in time to witness all hell breaking loose.
3rd POV (A/n: because it's way better to describe a fight)
Jasper slinked forward to examine the source of the smell. Behind the bush, two water sprites gave a shiver of fear, but were ready and determined to fight back.
As a face appeared, and both kicked sharply upwards in tandem, knocking the vampire back a few steps. He gave a low snarl and lunged forward, but was dodged.
Hearing a mental call from his brother, Edward gathered Emmett and Carlisle and headed to where he saw Jasper in his mind. Stronger, faster and with previous army training, Jasper had the upper hand. However, the fact that it was two-on-one, the opponents knew how to fight, and couldn't get injured somewhat evened things out.
Emmett lunged into the fight with a snarl as the girls appeared on the opposite side of the slightly valleyed ground, everyone else was hesitating, not sure whether to fight.
Brute strength, no matter how great, is no match for skill, especially if you make the mistake of making the first move in a fight. Emmett grabbed hold of Halyn's arm and flung him away from Jasper. However, he didn't expect Halyn to grab hold of his arm with a death grip, so he got pulled along by his own strength, and was spun onto the ground.
Jasper stopped fighting with Kelsie and ran towards Emmett, he throttled Halyn and pinned him onto the ground. Raising his fist to connect to Halyn's face, he was stopped by a snarl.
Looking up, Kelsie loomed over Emmett, the point of her heels positioned at the base of his neck gleaming wickedly in the mellow moonlight. The expression on her face said that "If you harm him, I'll pierce his throat."
"Rosalie! No!" the cry was emitted from Alice, but it was a little too late.
That dangerous look Kelsie had on was enough to cause Rosalie to lose it. Knocking Jasper off Halyn, she held him up by the neck, with the same look that Kelsie had before. Kelsie's face spelt pure horror, she turned to look at Bella.
"Bella! Do something!"
The girl watching with an expression of utter mortification on her face shook her head slowly. Tears of confusion streamed down her face. How does one choose between family and love? It's all so Romeo-and-Juliet-sy, all so cliché, but when it happens, it is close to impossible to make a choice.
Edward glared at Kelsie with an extreme look of disgust and anger. Carlisle held a hand on his shoulder, but he shrugged it off. The next moment, he had choke-slammed Kelsie on to the ground and pinned her down.
Even though Alice had much practice in controlling her abilities, she wasn't putting any control on it now. She opened her mind to absorb as many details, choices and possibilities of the situation, but seeing all the many choices flashing through nine other brains at the same time and all the consequences in detail at the same time was just too much to take. She didn't even have time to stop Edward before another wave of choices took over.
Kelsie spun a punch to his face at the same time she did a full kick from behind to the back of his head. If it weren't for her healing, she was certain she would have shattered her bone all the up to her elbow, and broken her entire foot.
Nobody was hurt, but the vampires were certainly shocked and angry. And Rosalie was freaking mad. She was still holding Halyn by the neck with her right hand, any one held up that long in such a grip would have asphyxiated a while ago. She started clenching her hand into a fist in anger. Hard and sharp nail slicing neatly through water. Bella screamed, but Rosalie full on ignored it.
Before Rosalie could slice through the entire neck, there was a splash, as he broke into his water form, and reformed right in front of her just in time to kick her in the guts.
Emmett was about to tackle Halyn when everyone felt a wave of extreme calm. Edward let go of Kelsie, who stood up, and Rosalie stopped thinking about how much she wanted to kill that jerk in front of her. Emmett, Rosalie and Edward turned to glare at Jasper, and found Carlisle standing beside him. Kelsie and Halyn were calm but confused, and Bella had stopped crying. Esme was holding up Alice who looked like she had just had the most turbulent migraine of her existence.
"No more fighting. The best way to handle this is to do it calmly. I suggest we all go back and discuss this over." Carlisle stated as-a-matter-of-fact-ly, trying to talk sense into the rest of them.
A/n: Will they listen to sense? Will they see reason? How would they resolve the conflict of this sticky, sticky situation? Sorry for this really short chapter, that's all for now.
The reason I left you with this is that it will next branch off in very different directions depending on how the story ends… BUT, I haven't yet decided on how to end the story… See, the thing is…
This story was originally planned to have a sequel that includes the werewolves and such. However, I'm currently up to my neck in school work (I'm supposedly doing my biology homework now), and I'm not sure if I have time to write a sequel. And also I might be losing interest in the story. There is a turning point here, and how the story continues next depends on whether I shall have a sequel or not. So I need you to take a poll on my profile to decide how the story shall go.
And definitely, REVIEWS!!
